I was playing around with this infront of a window and in theory it should work...I was inspired by my new fondness of contact juggling and Glass's "Contact Staff"Basically the idea is to keep the circle of fire going in the same plane and size etc and then you move round it. If done properly it should look weird as you'd be moving around the circle in various ways.My brief experiments showed that you can do a weave on one side and then sort of skip round for the second side, thus keeping the circle still. Also, you can incorporate windmills and such like...Any thoughts?------------------https://www.hugbubble.co.uk - My Homepagehttps://www.hugbubble.co.uk/HOP.html - The Mug Shot Galleryhttps://communities.msn.com/PoiStaffandallthingsfirey - MSN CommunityWords to memerise, words hypnotise, words make my mouth exercise.

We are all in the cosmic movie. That means the day you die you watch your whole life repeating for eternity. So you'd better have some good things happen in there and have a fitting climax. --Jim MorrisonIt's going to come from a direction you didn't predict at a moment of chaos which you didn't see coming. -- NYC
